Are they claiming that it's *already* the deepest and most powerful
low pressure system for a century (which should be easy enough to
verify or refute), or just that they *expect* it to be?


I knew I was getting old but seem to be getting forgetful too. If
that piddling little depression is the deepest for a century and I
remember lots deeper than this, where'd my telegram from the queen go?
